It could be a good fight. I think Antonio Silva has earned a step up in competition and Fedor just lost so it is good for all parties concerned.

Silva is coming off of big wins over Arlovski and Kyle. With that being said, Fedor is going to be a humongous test for Silva. I think he could pull it off, but I think the odds are definitely in Fedor's favor here.

I think fedor still has it in him unlike most people. I like both fighters but im giving the edge to Fedor because of his speed and power. I think he is going to have a hard time with silva though. hes a very tough guy and it'll be hard to knockout or even tko him. on the ground the advantage I think should go to bigfoot. He has a solid ground game.

Did I misread your post... or did you say Bigfoot has the advantage on the ground?

Fedor will definitely win this fight where ever he wants. Silva is definitely a great fighter but his ground game is less than spectacular. I doubt he could submit or GnP Fedor to inflict significant damage.

I keep watching the brief standup exchange Werdum and Fedor had. Werdum was tooling Silva standing for fifteen minutes. It's really hard to say how this fight will go because it depends on how Fedor shows up.

Are we going to see the Fedor from Zulu, Nog, CroCop etc? Or the "sleepy lizard" Fedor that showed up for Rogers?

I think either way Fedor wins but it might be an unimpressive win. Sort of like when Mousasi mailed it in against Sokoudjou, sure he got a 2nd round TKO but he definitely didn't look great.

No mate, check my profile, FEDOR is still the #1 P2P fighter in the world, #2 is Anderson

That's Silva on the left, punching Arlovski in the face. He's a HW, just like Fedor, and he is going to be fighting Fedor in the first round of the HW Grand Prix on Saturday.
